Tea in Meknes
Tea in Meknes with
Two cubes of sugar,
Sunlight fading against the
Old city wall.
Tea in Meknes with
Two cubes of sugar,
Sunlight fading against the
Old city wall.
Come to the market for
Woven rugs, some dates, and a
pot of hammered aluminum. It's
all made by hand, in the way of our
Grandparents,
resting long beside us in the
shadows of the city wall,
whispering of Age-old Empire,
the thunder clap of cavalry riding
Home beneath the tiled gateway
where you sit calmly drinking tea
under a cold December sky.
